  • When he pushes away the mic @ 1:40 the performance only gets Stronger..An amazing Man, or as I like to Tell, a Man among men..."Peace whenever possible, Anything is..." Medley

  • @DrMcSex, well, the focus definitely is on the voice. so it might not be acapella-by-book, but i get it why "the owner" wrote acapella..

  • I can do without the Black Power salute. One of the main reasons racism against black people still perpetuates is because of this divisive 'f##k' you attitude. The current generation is not guilty of the sins of their fathers - let it go and move on!!!

  • @rejctsociety you jinxed it dip shit.

  • Stand TALL, Mr. Ben.

  • @RozalynnM Well said...WELL SAID!!!

  • THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAYA ANGELOU FOR THIS AMAZING POEM AND THANK YOU BEN HARPER FOR BRINGING IT TO A NEW GENERATION MUCH RESPECT!!!

  • @funkyoutoo xDDD

    "The bass is really just in the background"... Plus the textbook definition ( and really the word itself) sais that acapella means "without any musical accompaniment". I see a bass, percussions (they are in fact instruments) and drums.

  • Strictly speaking, this ain't a capella, but eh, close enough.
